VJRIST-A'ITAOHED ARTICLE CARRIER.

Application filed August 26, 1924.

This invention relates to the class of article carriers andpertainsparticularly to the class of wrist attached article carriers.

The prim ry obiect of this invention is the provision, in a manner ashereinafter set forth, of an llllPl'()"i"6(l and simplified wristattached memorandum pad carrier designed to maintain: a writing pad in acase on the wearer's wrist in such a manner that the same may be quicklyand easily accessible for use. I

A further object of the invention is the provision, in a manner ashereinafter set forth, of a memorandum pad holder designed to beattached to the wrist, entirely closed when not in use, to protect thepad and quickly and easily swung open to eX- pose the pad to view readyfor use.

A further and final object of this invention is the provision, in amanner as hereinafter set forth, of a memorandum pad holder designed tobe attached to wrist, which is light in construction, neat andattractive in design, easily and quickly applied and removed, andinexpensive to manufacture.

The invention will be best understood from a consideration of thefollowing detail description taken in connection with the ac companyingdrawing forming a part of this specification, with the understandingthat the invention is not confined to any strict conformity with theshowing of the drawings, but may be changed and modified so long as suchchanges and modifications mark no material departure from the salientfeatures of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the device embodying this inventionshown as applied and ready for use.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of he device, when closed.

Figure 3 is a transverse section taken upon the line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detail of one end of a pad holder showing the clip meansby which the pad is retained in position.

Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals ofreference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, thedevice embodying this invention comprises a tray 1 and a cover 2. Thetray and cover are of substantial width and rela tively shallow asshown, and if so desired,

the other end edge is extended inwardly to provide the free springtongue 1- which extends across the tray from one side wall to the otheras shown in Figure 1. This spring tongue 1 has a rib 5 pressed thereinalong the free edge thereof, which rib, as shown in Figure 2, extendsinto the tray.

The cover 2 is of substantially the same depth as the tray 1, and is ofslightly greater width than the tray so that it can fit over the opentop thereof to close the same. As shown in Figure 1, the cover 2 has oneend wall removed and the edge of this end of the top is formed toprovide hinge knuckles 6 which engage between the knuckles 3 and aresecured together by means of the usual pivot pin.

The top or back of the cover 2 has secured thereacross intermediate theends thereof the substantially oval split wrist band 7, a portion of theband upon one side being straight where it is attached in any desiredmanner to the cover 2, as indicated at 8, and this straight portionmerges at each end into the semi-circular side 9, each of whichter1ninates in the free end 10. This wrist band 7 may be made of metalcovered or plain, celluloid, hard rubber, or any other appropriateresilient material which is light and appropriate for such use.

When a pad 11 is placed in the tray 1, one end of the pad is slippedunder the spring tongue 1, as shown in Figure 2, which tongue serves tosecurely hold the pad in position in the tray and prevent the same fromfalling therefrom.

It will be noted that when the wrist band 7 is secured about a wrist 12.the cover 2 is in inverted position and remains stationary, whereas thetray 1 is swung and enters the cover when closed, to be retained ininverted position upon the back of a wrist. When the tray 1 is swungopen from the cover 2 it is brought down and rests upon the back of thehand of the wearer as shown in Figure 1, so that it is retained steadyfor writin From the foregoing description it may be seen that a veryuseful and novel device is produced by means of which the memorandum padmay be conveniently carried and ready for use at all times.

Having thus described my invention What I claim is:

1. In a pad holding device of the character set forth, a relativelyshallow tray having a bottom and side and end walls, designed to receivea Writing pad, a resilient tongue projecting inwardly from the top edgeof one end wall and having a down pressed rib formed therein adjacentand paralleling the free inner edge thereof for contact with the face ofa pad positioned in the tray, and a cover adapted to overlie said trayto cover said pad.

2. In a pad holding device of the charac- 15 ter set forth, arelativelyshallow tray having a bottom and side and end walls, designed to receivea writing pad, a resilient tongue extending transversely of the tray atone end thereof and having the top surface flush with the top edge ofsaid side wall and further projecting freely inwardly -from one endwall, said tongue having a down pressed rib formed therein adjacent andparalleling the free inner edge thereof for contact with the face of apad positioned in the tray, and

a cover member adapted to fit over the top of said tray to cover a padlocated therein.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature here'to.

JUDSON SIDES.
